-16- <br /> density. Footings should be at least 2 feet wide, and should bear at <br /> least 18 inches below lowest adjacent finished grade. For footings con- <br /> structed as recommended, a design allowable bearing pressure of 2000 psf 1 <br /> is recommended. Estimated total potential settlements should not exceed <br /> 1 inch. <br /> Kasch Park Ranger Facility: Anticipated subsurface conditions at this <br /> structure are based on the results of TP-213, where loose till fill was <br /> encountered to a depth of 6 feet, and was underlain by medium dense <br /> slightly weathered till . Depending on the proposed elevation of the <br /> structure, it could be founded on the fill or native till . For support <br /> by the fill , it is recommended that fill be removed to a depth of 2 feet <br /> below the planned bottom of footing elevation and replaced with fill <br /> compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density. For this <br /> configuration, a design allowable bearing pressure of 1500 psf is recom- <br /> mended. Alternatively, fill could be removed to expose medium dense <br /> native soil , and footings could be designed for an allowable bearing <br /> pressure of 2000 psf. For either situation, footings should be at least I <br /> 2 feet wide, and should bear at least 18 inches below lowest adjacent <br /> finished grade. For footings bearing on fill or native soil , we esti- <br /> mate that total potential settlements should not exceed 1 inch. <br /> Light Poles: Light pole locations are not known, and therefore soil <br /> conditions at specific test pit locations cannot be referenced. Instead, <br /> presumed soil parameters and recommended design values are presented in <br /> the following table. Soil types assumed in design will need to be con- <br /> firmed during construction. Design of embedment to resist overturning <br /> could be performed assuming active pressure to act over one pile diam- <br /> eter on one side of the pole, and passive resistance to act over two <br /> pile diameters on the other side of the pole. Alternatively, design <br /> could assume the "net passive resistance" (passive minus active) to act <br /> on two pile diameters on one side of the pole. Note that the recom- <br /> mended design values for passive resistance include a factor of safety <br /> of 2 applied to our estimated ultimate soil strength. <br />
